A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB) campus will bring twenty undergraduates to CSUMB each summer for three years. This program includes a partnership with five other organizations, including the Naval Postgraduate School, Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University, Moss Landing Marine Laboratory, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, and Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve, which are all within a short distance of CSUMB. Students will live at CSUMB, but they will conduct research and be mentored by CSUMB faculty and researchers at partner organizations. Research themes include Oceanography, Marine Biology and Ecology, Ocean Engineering, and Marine Geology, with a wide range of topics in each of these themes. Students receive a stipend, housing and travel expenses. Professional development activities include workshops on scientific ethics and Responsible Conduct in Research (RCR), Geographical Information Systems (GIS), graduate school admissions and fellowships, and scientific communication. Many students will be able to present their research results at a conference or a professional meeting following the program. This program will provide unique research and professional development opportunities to a diverse group of sixty students and thus supports the national goal of creating a well-trained scientific workforce. Students who participate in the this program have the opportunity to work with researchers at a variety of marine science research institutions. Potential research topics include, but are not limited to: Trace Metal Analysis; Internal Wave Dynamics; Ocean Analysis and Prediction; Ocean Modeling; Nearshore Processes; Coastal Circulation; Marine Microbiology; Fish Ecology; Population Genetics; Invasion Ecology; Biomechanics; Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs); Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs); Artificial Intelligence; Coastal Erosion; Seafloor Mapping, and Biogeochemical Analysis.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

加州州立大学蒙特雷湾分校（CSUMB）的本科生研究经验（REU）计划将在三年内每年夏天为CSUMB带来20名本科生。该计划包括与其他五个组织的合作伙伴关系，包括海军研究生院，斯坦福大学的霍普金斯海洋站，莫斯兰丁海洋实验室，蒙特雷湾水族馆研究所和埃尔克霍恩斯劳国家河口研究保护区，这些都在CSUMB的短距离内。学生将住在CSUMB，但他们将进行研究，并由CSUMB教师和研究人员在合作伙伴组织的指导。研究主题包括海洋学，海洋生物学和生态学，海洋工程和海洋地质学，每个主题都有广泛的主题。学生将获得助学金、住房和差旅费。专业发展活动包括关于科学道德和负责任的研究行为、地理信息系统、研究生入学和奖学金以及科学交流的讲习班。许多学生将能够在会议或专业会议上展示他们的研究成果。该计划将提供独特的研究和专业发展机会，以一个不同的60名学生群体，从而支持创建一个训练有素的科学劳动力的国家目标。参加该计划的学生有机会与各种海洋科学研究机构的研究人员合作。潜在的研究课题包括但不限于：痕量金属分析;内波动力学;海洋分析和预测;海洋模拟;近岸过程;海岸环流;海洋微生物学;鱼类生态学;种群遗传学;入侵生态学;生物力学;遥控潜水器（ROV）;自主水下航行器（AUV）;人工智能;海岸侵蚀;该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
